Doubting the Trinity and Paradise
by ClassAvenger ini don't doubt the trinity, but again i had a talk with one of my jw friends and he gave me several bible passages which he wants me to explain, most deal with the trinity, and others deal with the belief in heaven.
he says that they show that jesus was less than his father, and was a separate person, and the others state that paradise will be here on earth.
argument: how come no one has seen god, not even jesus?

Not sure if this is the right area
by Zoewrex inall - of course i'm new to this board (or any board) and have an 'issue'.
my father and step-mother are both jw's and i know i can't argue with them.
however they're important to me and yet after a visit, i feel as if they are chipping away at my own spirit.

Orthodox Jews and homosexuality
by scotsman inas larc's thread has mutated into the tired old nurture vs nature debate i thought i'd give a response to his question, which was how do you reconcile the bibles attittude to homosexuality and the living breathing reality of human beings.
i was at a recent screening of trembling before g-d, a documentary on homosexuals in the orthodox community who want to be practising homosexuals and still be accepted as part of the orthodox faith.
(my opinion is that they're wanting to have their cake and eat it but i was interested in the reasoning).

Bizarre Advice On Child Rearing
by BluesBrother inrecently we looked this up, to show to someone who refused to believe that they would ever print such advice.. this was in the watchtower 1976 page 330. it was the lifestory of porfirio caicedo from columbia :-i recall a form of punishment that worked effectively on horacio, my fifth son, when the literal rod failed to do so.
he was about eight years old.
he was too insistent in associating with undesirable neighborhood boys.

eating meat
by wonderer2003 in.
i am a newbie here and have just found this site after a some jw sisters came a visiting to my door.. i was listening intently to what they were saying, and asked a question about cruelty in this world, the subject got around to animals and they said that animals did not eat each other until after the flood.. and animals did not turn against man until they started to be cruel to them, which was again after the flood.
this seems to me to be so ludicrous, please can you tell me if anyone has heard of this before?
